MICHIGAN MATTERS.
A Jealous Mans Deed.

In Coldwater the other night Thomas
johnson of Knoxville, Tenn, shot and
wounded George w. Gordinier and inilict-
ed slight wound on Gordiner's wife.
He then shot and killed himself Mrs.
Gordinier was Johnson's late wife from
whom he separated four or five years ago.
she retaining possession of four or five
little children and considerable property.
johnson formerly lived in Coldwater q
good many years, and lately has been liv-
ing in Knoxville, but has been around
Coldwater two or three weeks. lmmedi-
ately after his arrival he visited GOrdinier's
place of business and asked to see the
children, but Mrs. Gordinier pushed him off
the steps of the store. He boarded at the
Arlington hotel Immediately across the
street from the store, and had room
where he could constantly keep an eye on
the store. The evening the terrible deed
was committed, he was in the store and
handed Mrs. Gordlnier paper to read.
While she was reading an article Johnson
had pointed out to her, the latter fired at
her, just grazing her cheek, the ball on
tering the shelving behind the counter.
She ran out of the side door, and immedi-
ately johnson fired at GOrdinier, who was
in the act of putting out the light in the
front window. The ball entered his left
side below the waist, and passed nearly
through his body. Johnson then ran up
stairs to Mrs. Gordinier's bedroom and
throwing off his coat and vest lay on the
bed and put bullet in his forehead, dy-
ing almost instantly. Gordinier walked
to doctors residence, thirty rods away,
and then walked back to the store where
he lay down.
A coroner's jury was at once summoned
and rendered a verdict in accordance with
the facts. Gordnier had been married to
the woman a couple of years.

Dignitaries Fight.

Ex-Supreme Judge John w. Henry and
State Auditor Walker had an alteration
on the street in Jefferson City, Mo-, the
other morning. Walker accused Judge
Henry of talking about him with view
to iniuring him. and took strong exception
to the judges testimony before legisla-
tive committee. Judge Henry struck
Walker on the head with his cane and
Walker drew pistol and fired at him.
The ball entered the palm of the judges
left hand, passed up the arm just under
the skin 10 near the elbow, where it came
out, crossed his breast and lodged in the
breast bone. The wound is severe and
may be dangerous one. Walker got a
heavy blow on the left temple, cutting a
long cash, and he is now suffering from
nervous prostration, palpatation of the
heart. and numbness of the left side, but
the doctors say he will be all right in a
few days. Both are old men, and Judge
Henry quite feeble.

These sums must be multi piled by 36j

Our Alaska Fisheries.

The department of state Is carefully
considering the question of the jurisdiction
of the United States over the Alaskan fur
seal fisheries. The statement made in the
Canadian parliament to the effect that
communications on the subject had been
sent by that government to Secretary
Bayard is denied at the state department,
and it said that all of the correspondence
touching the fisheries has been carried on
directly with the government of Great
Britain. This fact, 1t is believed, will ex-
plain the delay In hearing from the state
department, of which complaint has been
at Ottawa.
